I friend and I were going through the old stock area of the camera store he worked at. This was years ago, in the early 70s. We found some 60" rolls of some Kodak B&W paper, so we decided to make some REALLY BIG PRINTS. We stapled the paper to the wall of his dad's fairly recently renovated basement, set up a 35mm enlarger across the room and tipped it's head to point at the wall, and proceded to make a 5x9 foot print. We should have used larger film, the exposure was somewhere in the range of an hour, IIRC, and we were left with the problem on processing it. Several gallons of chemistry were applied with mops, the print now being directly on the cement floor, and we still had the problem of washing it. A backyard pool would have been nice, but we had to be satisfied with rolling it out on the back lawn (which recovered eventually), ans spraying it with a garden hose for an hour. Today, I would say that the results were not worth the effort, but when you are 16......
